BraveSpace--Somatics & Spirit--With Matthew Nelson

The vision and practice of BraveSpace® is a culture of shared respect and love for the divine wisdom that we individually and collectively embody. We move, feel, dance, breathe, touch, and vibrate in somatic ecstatic prayer. Somatics is the field of movement and awareness that manifests through presence with embodied experience. The ecstatic state translates from the Greek “ekstasis” as “standing outside oneself,” transported beyond normal consciousness. Somatic ecstatic union meets inner and outer—self, other, and spirit—in the profound, meaningful realization of connectedness. We hold BraveSpace® by setting conditions safe enough to take the risk of being authentic and vulnerable in our bodies so that we may commune in our shared divinity and belonging. As we learn to facilitate this state within ourselves, we become more adept at sharing it with others.
